        a couple more daylilys

        The photo below this is the 1st one I have ever bred from my own crosses, 3 years in the making from pollinating, to collecting the seeds and sowing , I have been watching the buds for days waiting for them to open , I am so pleased with the outcome and never thought it would be this good.
        Yet to be named ?

            Ooooh- what a beaute Spruce - I love the yellow undersides of the petals. Is that normal? To have a different colour underneath?

              Jen I will have to check later as the spot its growing in a swarm of bees have made a new home in the bait hive about 3 feet away and flying around crazy just before I got in from work as half of them covering the fence panel and within 10 minutes most had gone into the hive
              It has more buds so plenty more for me to check , to be honest I never noticed until you pointed out bees will be more behaved from 8.00pm onward I will report back

              thank you as well very kind of you

                Loving this variegated Hydrangea that I grew from a cutting from a customers garden just last year, the flowers are almost white but have a lovely pink flush :)

                      I sympathise Bilbo. :) My garden is doing it's own thing this year, I'm not really happy with any of it, even my tomato plants are dismal with very few flowers/fruit. :doh:

                        It started off as Dicentra scandens a far more manageable name but was reassigned a year or so back.
